The FBI has released photos of a suspect wanted in Tuesday’s armed robbery of Chase Bank in north Midland.

A Hispanic male in his early 20s allegedly entered the bank -- located in the 3200 block of Courtyard Drive -- produced a handgun and demanded money, according to city spokeswoman Sara Bustilloz.

The suspect, who stands between 5 foot 2 and 5 foot 8 and has a slim build, fled the scene on foot, Bustilloz said.

Police focused their search around the nearby Toys’R’Us, where a K-9 unit led them to the suspect’s pink hoodie in a parking lot east of the bank, according to a previous Reporter-Telegram article. The man also wore orange fabric over his face during the robbery, Bustilloz said.

The FBI and the Department of Public Safety are helping with the search and investigation. Midlanders with information are asked to call the Midland Police Department at 685-7108 or Midland Crime Stoppers at 694-TIPS.
